Just finished this sweater for my daughter. Loved this pattern - the only improvement would be a top-down raglan version as I never look forward to sewing all those seams. That said, after careful blocking the sweater went together beautifully. The moss stitch, tho'' a bit tedious, gives this sweater a wonderful feel and body. I''ll make this one again... for myself next time!
